KUWAIT CITY, June 10: Three Kuwaitis — Hajaj Al- Ajmi, Hakim Al-Mutairi, and Hamed Al-Ali — who are placed on the list of terrorists by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain have been put under strict surveillance since a long time, their passports have been confiscated and a travel ban has been slapped against them, reports Al-Qabas daily.

A well-informed source said the decision to put the men on the list of terrorists is linked to political issues and according to the Kuwaiti Constitution a citizen cannot be arrested without evidence.
